Research shows that alumni engagement provides students with the knowledge and motivation they need to succeed.
Alumni Toolkit™ is the alumni engagement platform that makes it easy for every educator to recruit, manage, and strategically mobilize their alumni and community partners for their student and program needs.
But don’t take our word for it. here’s what researchers from the University of california San Diego’s CREATE and Yankelovich center found in their program review of the alumni toolkit in action: “The educational value of alumni for public high schools”
ALUMNI MATTER
- 76% of the students reported that they gained practical knowledge from alumni events and found them motivating as well.
- 100% of the educators and schools anticipated using alumni more in the future.
- 100% of the alumni said they would come back for more events if/when they were invited.
INSPIRING IMPACT
- “We conclude that two overarching benefits for students were achieved via alumni inspired events: Practical Knowledge and Inspiration”
- “Educators were excited because they saw their students learning, gaining knowledge, and sometimes comfort, from interacting with alumni.”
- “‘If they can do it, so can I” was a frequent response from the student participants.”
EASY AND EFFECTIVE
- “Educators (even busy ones) found the Alumni Toolkit user friendly and easy to implement”
- “the Alumni Toolkit catalyzed educators interest in educationally beneficial ways at their schools”
- “We conclude that high schools tapping alumni as an educational resource is a promising new strategy that may provide much at little overall cost.”
